5 out of 5 stars Lighter In Weight to Hold, Heavy Duty for Work   March 26, 2006
Jeanne Weston Carr (Orlando, FL., USA)

My husband and I purchased this Makita demolition hammer after renting several different brands from local rental shops. We found the Makita to be economical to purchase, lighter in weight to hold for longer periods of time but also heavy duty enough for continous work over a period of several hours in removing ceramic tile in our single family home. We attempted to purchase this model from a local rental store with attachments and found that we saved several hundred dollars in the quoted price when buying the hammer through Amazon.com. We did check locally and this Makita model was not found at any of our local homestores but we believe it to be an excellent choice. My husband and I are using the Makita Demolition Hammer with a 4 1/2inch tile chipping blade and a separate sharp 6 inch long blade (with removable handle) to take up the white mastic in our single family home. We have finished 1/2 of the job and are very pleased with this product.

I'm a General Contractor and we tear out a lot of tile floors and demo concrete for plumbing. On a large tile job I like to run two chipping hammers, so I went to the big orange store and rented a Bosch chipping hammer of approximately the same size. I come back to the job and the Bosch is sitting in its box while the guys are taking turns with the Makita. I had another tile tear out job and again put the Bosch on the job and again they would only use the Makita. I asked why and they said the Makita just works faster. I didn't buy mine from Amazon, I bought it second hand and never thought much of it as it doesn't look modern like the new stuff with SDS bits and I didn't pay alot for it. The 3/4 Hex end bits are cheap at Jim & Slims Tools and you can weld what ever you want onto the end of a broken hex bit. This tool works very well and has proven itself on job after job. Heck I even went out and bought some new bits for it and gave it a good cleaning since next week it will be doing its job again!

I've used this hammer to chip away concrete and break things up, but the real benefit this tool provides is with digging holes in hard-packed soil to ease gardening. The "B" in the partnumber means that Bosch-style bits may be used; we use a 4.5" clay bit (Makita #751623-A). I can easily dig holes for plants, but also, with the same bit, chew away at the potholes that appear in our roadway to prepare for new asphalt. The tool is heavy--as needed for these activities. Bit changes are easily done by rotating a "keeper"--takes only a few moments. The tool comes with a sturdy case. Unfortunately the clay bit will not fit within this case. Overall, an essential tool for any handy-person. I bought a second one for my daughter, who is doing more and more gardening. She will find it to be indispensable.

I purchased this piece of equipment for my son who lives in a different part of the state than I do. However, he told me its an amazing piece of equipment, even better than the older model Makita that his former company had. Its a back-saver.
